I have a few ip addresses that are constantly popping up in my inventory as unknow, and when I check then they are off line and they have been off line for some time now, because we took the off. Our ip address range haven't change, just a few pc's have been removed.

I'm trying to keep my inventory organized but these unknows keep coming up in my scan, and they are all off line.

I just started using Spiceworks a few weeks ago and I'm just getting into the swing of things.

If those machines are permantently offline check your Active Directory and DNS records to see if they are still in there. Even if they are not actively on the network Spiceworks can detect them from AD/DNS and populate from there.
